Many higher institutions of learning in the country are historically known for educating people who end up in white collar employment. In recent times evidence shows that employment in the white collar sector is no longer guaranteed as was in the past. Many young people lack training in technical skills and other areas that would help them create their own employment. This would save the burden of training people who may no longer be relevant in a world that looks for technical skills rather than theoretical knowledge. This issue should be looked at seriously by all stakeholders and beneficiaries themselves. This should also be a priority area by the development partners who sometimes offer support in the education sector. Technical and skills education can also be offered to people who have dropped out of school and former prisoners in order for them to be productive even with low standards of education. Kabuga
